i also took off the mirrors, door handles, the spoiler, antenna, headlights/tailights which saved me a good chunk of change as the shop didn't have to do it a big f350 truck booked in before me was wrapped in matte white. the guy paid i think $5k to put things into perspective |
Great job man! This car is the best i've seen!

updates from today.
- new starter motor installed (old one auto wrecker threw in for free was becoming quite unreliable, particularly on hot days...) - front strut tower brace installed - rear and front coilovers installed - began getting the brakes installed ran into an issue where the bolts that came with the wilwood bbk broke when attaching the rotors to the hats. they were very weak. head of the bolt detached with only 35psi... so i've sourced some much stronger ones. don't feel good at all using those bolts. a little disappointed with wilwood on that one. the kit is fantastic otherwise, i just wish they'd have included stronger bolts. few pics from today: comparison old vs. new: Attachment 333276 Attachment 333277 Attachment 333278 Attachment 333279 |

brakes, suspension and new wheels on:
- wilwood bbk on front - brand new drums and shoes on rear, painted black - 16" enkei RPF1 on potenza RE760's - tein basic coilovers with brand new top hats and main bushings - rallispec front strut bar the difference is incredible. the car feels so much more stable and flat through corners and you feel every part of the road. i absolutely love it. of all the things i have done to this car, this is definitely the best upgrade. i suspected it was going to be quite stiff and less comfortable than before, but it in fact seems quite the opposite. i find being kept up-right in the seat so much more makes for a more comfortable ride and the coilovers aren't nearly as stiff as i thought they might be. overall i'm extremely impressed...never did i think this car would become what it has. it is very fun to drive now. here are some pics (sorry about the dirty exterior, car needs a good wash) ...also some of you might get a kick about my nameplate lol: Attachment 333266 Attachment 333267 Attachment 333268 |

I was a little skeptical when I was reading this, but it's turned out really nice. Good work.
